Remember it well so I won't comment. :grin:

:evil:

Have you shod them with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports as you mentioned on the R forum! Can't wait to hear what you think of these tyres. :smiley:

Yep - I'll no doubt write something about them... the rim protection looked good this morning when I saw them (not fitted).
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

Bit surprised you doing this, boredem? :rolleyes: That constant search for lost youth :wink: Will certainly look meaner.

Spot on - both of those things. :grin:

Why not in between, a lovely anthrecite/gun metal :cool:

Because I want them to look OEM... I might even switch back to silver again at a later date. See how it goes... :smiley:

Is that not a photoshop with the black wheels? It looks ghastly.  Black in real life looks superb IMHO against the rising blue.
Any reason why the silver wheeled one was pictured in front of huge phallic symbols?!?  :laugh:
